Going to give it a shot at Toronto.

FCP is near industry standard from what I hear, probably overkill. I also highly doubt it will run on 16mb of vRAM.

Don't listen to her, she's the woman on the very far right.

Good job Pkm :P

I don't see a fight with China happening anytime soon. Despite major differences relationships are pretty decent.

I believe it should search for a phrase in title if it's working correctly. However, even if it does only search for an exact match it still isn't working.

What do you think is going to happen once the states leaves? I fully agree that Iraq needs full control at some point, but they aren't ready in the slightest. Leaving now basically renders the work the States has done there over the past seven years useless. For the next year the focus will shifted from combat operations to solely training Iraq forces and security. I would like to believe that the US knows what they are doing. I'm sure when we do leave there will be some sort of uprising but I would like to assume we have a plan in place incase the worst happens but I would also like to believe that the people of Iraq will be capable of holding their own. There's practically no evidence to support the theory that Iraq is capable of handling their own security. The US military is the only thing currently holding the country back from complete civil war - once they disappear some suggest we could see something as bad as a genocide.

Obamacare has already taken care of that. Unlikely on both counts.

This. As much as people want it to happen, something may come up that makes an immediate end impossible if it isn't already. I'll believe it when it happens. It'll happen. At some point we (US) have to leave and I think now is the right time. What more can we do for themselves? At some point the people of Iraq need to take back full control over their country. They can't be dependent on us forever. What do you think is going to happen once the states leaves? I fully agree that Iraq needs full control at some point, but they aren't ready in the slightest. Leaving now basically renders the work the States has done there over the past seven years useless.

Unsurprising, considering this was a cornerstone of Obama's campaign. I personally feel it's a huge mistake, but we shall see where it leads.

Wow, my girlfriend has almost identical allergies. I can attest to the fact that it's really hard to eat according to those, and a lot of organic food is really expensive. In terms of "tasty organic food, soy food etc" you really just need to hunt around, trying different things. A lot of that stuff is great for you health wise, but tastes like crap. Occasionally we will wander onto something decent tasting though. EDIT: I don't know about your allergies, but she definitely has "degrees" here. For example a lot of the stuff will just make her feel mildly ill (upset stomach) whereas if she eats dairy she gets really sick.

It really depends how complicated your site is, but it could be relatively easy to implement a template. Do you have links to the pages currently?

As much as I'm glad to hear your opinion, it would be nice if you actually had some kind of proof and were willing to specify what exactly you don't like.

This. As far as a "WW3", I rather doubt it would be triggered by Iran - their military is too weak and even if they have nukes they are probably a very small number of weaker varieties. A WW3 involving NK is far more likely, but even then I don't know if that would actually happen.

You "couldn't care less". If you "could care less" or "can care less", that means you care. But yeah, forums are fine as they are, reputation free.

Bear in mind if you want to actually make a serious, playable game, you need to use timers to control frames per second and other stuff like that. I'd really recommend buying that book I linked, it's a really great resource that thoroughly describes how to do that.

This. This is a good resource book: http://www.amazon.com/Killer-Game-Programming-Andrew-Davison/dp/0596007302/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280710993&sr=8-1

What would be the point of letting these things be publicly viewed if there was no profit made? Would they only take the bare minimum they need for restoration, and let the building fall into neglect? Who pays the people who study and document the art? Who takes care of the administration? I agree with you, that we all need to do our fair share - and in fact the church states that it is a human responsibility to care for those less fortunate. But the church isn't a charitable organization - starting a charity and actually having it work is an incredible amount of effort, far more so than simply money can buy. Also, paying for "the needs of the poor" is very ambiguous. Who is poor? What is poor? What are they going to do? Unfortunately in this world we live in, charity cannot be blind. Countries like Uganda have had money thrown at them, yet almost none of it has reached the people who need it. I also am unsure where you think the church's "enormous wealth" comes from.

The only sitcom I ever liked at all was Friends - and even then that's mostly from watching the DVDs recently. Two and a half men is just annoying, but How I met your mother has it's moments(from the little I've seen of it)

Wait...you took a tour, of a famous building, filled with priceless art...and you had to pay an admission fee? Unheard of. After all, the cost of maintaining such a thing is so low they should let everyone in for free. I know of wealthy people who have given their estates to the government, and corporations, but you don't tell them how to spend the money. Art galleries are privately run business - as in fact is that element of the church when talking about their display of art. JP2 never had any money - he became a priest at a young age and never saved. The church paid for everything he needed to do his job - other than that he owned nothing more than the clothes he wore (and not even the official ones at that). I'd like to see you do a job making no pay for 30 years and be content to never possess anything more than clothes. You're exhibiting a commonly found syndrome in society that likes to blame the church for everything and suggest that they fix everything - while I'll be the first to admit the institution is far from perfect this is frankly unfair. Do you donate money to charity? Do you go on social work projects to underdeveloped countries to make a difference? I somehow doubt it. The buildings were designed to collapse inwards on themselves, as makes sense given their location. This actually saved hundreds if not thousands of lives. Hundreds of physics models have proven this was the normal way for them to collapse. The plane that hit the pentagon disintegrated? Untrue. They found a huge number of plane parts at the location, including dead bodies. For every person looking for their moment of fame willing to say some [cabbage] for a movie for their moment of fame, there are hundreds of others who can testify otherwise. This conspiracy is far fetched, there's no avoiding that. People want to think conspiracies are true, that's exactly why poorly constructed garbage like these movies so easily preys on the mind of those who don't really want to know - they just want to be told. Ironic, considering the supposed purpose of the films.

Why not make every employee a CEO? Why not make every army private a general? Why not make every extra a movie star?

I'm curious to hear what about society you find to be "idiotic" and what surefire methods you have of improving these things. Well, just to point out one, since I was recently in Italy, the Catholic Church. They have so much wealth amassed that it's mind blowing. Instead of hoarding it like they've been doing, why not use it to, say, end world hunger, promote worldwide literacy, or provide medical care for underdeveloped countries. I've been a Catholic all my life, but there are things about the Church itself that I just don't agree with. This wealth you speak of, where is it exactly? Did you know Pope John Paul the Second died with exactly $0 to his name, and he once gave his papal ring to the mayor of a town in Brazil because he felt so helpless seeing their poverty? I'll assume you're talking about the "priceless art" in which case I question why you think the church should sell their art off to end poverty, yet you don't demand the same thing of art galleries all over the world. In fact, there are thousands of agencies sponsored by the Catholic Church with an anti-poverty focus - some of them by the Vatican directly, others by subsidiaries - for example Share Life.

I have watched the original, and was highly unimpressed - basically every assertion made could be disproved by anyone with access to wikipedia.

I'm assuming the new OS you've obtained is 64 bit?
